Ratcliffe’s latest comments on immigration in UK condemned by Man United fan group
MUMSC said Ratcliffe’s immigration comments and 450 redundancies showed the club’s owners had failed Manchester United’s diverse fan base.
- On Saturday, the Manchester United Muslim Supporters Club issued a statement of no confidence, demanding that co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family step down from the club.
- The demand followed a BBC interview where Ratcliffe argued the UK is "on the slide" due to immigration and the "benefits problem," claiming nobody is "tough enough" to address them.
- Highlighting that United's "players, staff, stewards, security teams and supporters come from different countries, cultures, ethnicities, religions and backgrounds," the group condemned Ratcliffe's rhetoric as "deeply disappointing" and unacceptable.
- Frustration extends beyond the boardroom, as Manchester United sits 13th in the Premier League and was knocked out of the Carabao Cup following a 3-2 defeat by Brighton on Wednesday.
- Critics also point to the Glazer family's years of "decline," while the UK Government recently committed more than £120m to an INEOS operation despite Ratcliffe's tax residency in Monaco.
